MG MGB GT V8 Factory Originals Technical - Brake caliper clearence

I am looking at changing my wheel for 15's soon, but in the meantime can i refit 14" wheels with V8 calipers? I remember reading somewhere i will not have the clearence. I haven't put the v8 calipers on yet but will do soon, would be a bit of a pain if i couldn't get the wheels back on.

Thanks

Graham,

Rostyle wheels do fit when the OEM BGT V8 calipers are installed. I tried this and drove this setup for several years until a set of Scimitar GTE wheels (5.5x14 with different ofset) came my way.
May be the old style disc wheels will fool the calipers but never tried this version on my car.
